The Mossback Cafe Cookbook: Texas Cooking from the Pages of The Fever and A Curse That Bites Deep by Thomas Fenske

"The Mossback" made it's first appearance
in the pages of Thomas Fenske's debut novel, THE FEVER, when owner
Smidgeon Toll delivered a massive serving of Huevos Rancheros Especial to Sam, that book's hero, and proudly exclaimed:

"There, what do you think of that?"

The
description of gooey, spicy, goodness that followed spurred several
readers to ask the author, "Is that a real dish?" Now you can see for
yourself!

Fiction has become kitchen.

Smidgeon will
entertain you with her quirky, homespun wisdom as she shares a
mini-history of the cafe along with some insight into what helps to make
The Mossback a unique and delightful locale in the world of fictional eateries.

Along
the way you'll learn how to make her awesome square biscuits. She also
reveals details about the full-sized heap of bacon they serve on "THAT
BLT," and introduces readers to other local favorites like the "Double
Trouble Dog" and what has to be the "Best-Danged Buttermilk Pie" you've
ever tasted. As an added bonus, she has agreed to share her famous
Potato Salad Secret, something surprising and simple that will take even
the best potato salad recipe and crank it up a notch, maybe two!

Simply put, these are all part of what would have made The Mossback Cafe famous, well, if it actually existed.

So
hop out of your pickup truck and mosey on in ... there just might be
some breakfast tacos or enchiladas lurking in your future.
